    Build a Home Studio in 11 Days or Fail College: Go.

    The definition of "good sounding room" varies greatly depending on whether you're talking about a listening room or a room to perform/record in. A buddy of mine owns a duplex, and one side has been turned into a huge, open space with an open loft. The bare wood floors and non-parallel walls and...

    Alesis multimix 8 usb/firewire

    1. Yes. Absolutely. 2. All you need is a firewire port, sounds like you're good to go. I have one of the USB models and use it quite a bit for quick and dirty rehearsal recordings to the laptop. It's a snap to set up when we're playing acoustics on the back porch. :D I've been very happy using...

    Home Recording For Low IQs with ADD

    If you're familiar with Cool Eidt, you may want to look at Adobe Auditon. It's like Cool Edit but much better.

    any one confirm my plan (preamp schematic)

    Not sure if the question was directed to me or the OP... I initially learned in high school, through self study and a couple of semesters of vo-tech. After that about a year of training in the Army, learning to troubleshoot and repair mainly tube-based circuits in radars to the component level...

    Can someone recommend portable technology for playing bass with recordings?

    I have a couple of devices that do what you're asking. One, I picked up probably 15 years ago and still use is an Ibanez Rock and Play. It's like an old cassette walkman. It is a cassette player with inputs for two basses and an external device. I used to use it on vacation a lot back in the...

    SM57 or SM58? There can be only 1!

    The very first 'good' mic I ever bought was a 57. Used it for pretty much everything. Still use it for micing guitar cabs and occasionally live vocals.

    Making a Gibson SG Clone

    I always wondered why they put them on the face of the SG yet the EB3 has it's in about the same place you put yours.

    Widescreen?.. Advantage or disadvantage for DAWs

    I like the widescreen on Adobe Audition's dual monitor settings. It allows me to have more channel strips showing during mixing.

    Radial cap in place of an axial?

    Back in the day (early 90s), Sony receivers were notorious for voltage regulator transistors in their power supplies getting extremely hot, causing the solder joints to heat up enough to become defective. As a fix, I would mount them on the rear panel and run wires to the circuit boards. Never...

    If anyone wants to practice their mixing, here you go!

    Thanks! Yeah, I tuned the delay for the latter part of the song, just did a quick mix while I was killing some time. It's definitely a bit much in other parts. Actually, it's on the guitar bus, and I accidentally routed one of the vox tracks through it and liked it, so I ended up using it on...

    Just Walked Away

    LOL! Not even close. It's shortened from Low Down Sinner, the way the singer used to indtroduce me on stage when I played bass for a group called The Sinners.

    recording drums when tracking whole band live

    Sure. In the beginning, there was the performer. He or she made music. People listened. Then it was over. It was a simple performance. Unique. Never to be repeated exactly the same. Then, some guy named Edison or something devised a way to capture that performance. So it could be repeated...

    recording drums when tracking whole band live

    There's a huge difference between recording a performance and performing a recording.
